I remember not long after they moved to LA and were still playing in the old Coliseum* (before Walter O'Malley got Chavez Ravine built). Didn't know anything about them but caught a ball from some Cubs player - so the die was cast at least for that 8-year old (kids large & small... ALWAYS take your glove with you).
Later my Dad took me back to the new Dodger Stadium. You could hardly find a drinking fountain & Dad opined that was so Walter O'Malley could force you to drink his over-priced beer. Impressions stick at that age. While I wish the Astros were still in the league that plays real baseball, if I had to wish a team well it would be them. Because... well, Dodgers.
One thing in the Wrigley playoffs that did make me chuckle was a sign a fan held up outside as the Dodgers players' bus arrived, something along the lines of: "29 years is a long time without a World Series."
* A football stadium; badly re-arranged temporarily for baseball. Until they put a false barrier up in left field, a golfer could hit a home run with a soft pitching wedge.
